The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan's eyes widened, and she took two deep sniffs, her heart suddenly racing.

Then he immediately reached out and began digging under the bluestone platform.

In no time, they dug a pit more than 30 centimeters deep, extending from the side to the bottom of the bluestone platform.

Reaching out, he pulled out an object about the size of a palm that looked like jade but wasn't; it resembled a stone but didn't feel very heavy.

"Jade Ganoderma lucidum, jade Ganoderma lucidum!"

"How could I not have thought of that? This uniquely blessed spirit-gathering array eye, over time, will surely give rise to rare and precious treasures."

"It's true what they say, 'newly rich but still poor.' Even with so many abilities, I'm still adapting too slowly," Chen Huan muttered to himself, squatting there like a madman.

Then he held the palm-sized jade Ganoderma lucidum and examined it carefully.

If you threw this thing into a pile of stones, most people wouldn't even glance at it a second time, because its appearance and texture are practically indistinguishable from those bluestone stones.

It does not emit any obvious odor.

Only someone with Chen Huan's incredibly sensitive sense of smell could detect it.

"It's a bit small, but it's priceless."

"It can at least compare to ginseng that's been growing for decades."

"Today is my chance to strike it rich." Chen Huan blew the dust off the jade lingzhi mushroom and then carefully put it into his pocket.

He filled the hole back in before finally returning the way he came, completely satisfied.

He didn't notice that just a few dozen meters away, in a tree, a large fox with smooth fur was staring with a pair of eerie green eyes, its expression showing a fierce anger.

Back by the river, I hopped on my tricycle and quickly headed home.

It was already past nine o'clock at night.

Hearing the noise, Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping came out and opened the door.

"Why are you only coming back now? I called you but you didn't answer." Li Chunlan was both concerned and a little annoyed.

Chen Huan scratched his head and said, "I went to the mountains to collect herbs, and I accidentally wandered too far. There's no signal there, and I'm so sorry to have worried you all."

"I'll go to town tomorrow and buy you some delicious food."

Li Chunlan snorted, "Who cares about your delicious food? If you keep making people worry like this, I won't talk to you anymore."

Zhao Liping nodded repeatedly beside her, "That's right, you're the only man in our family. We get really worried when the man isn't around."

"When did you two become inseparable?" Chen Huan sensed that the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Zhao Liping blushed. "Stop talking nonsense. We just want to correct your mistakes. Don't try to bribe us with snacks or anything."

  

Chen Huan raised an eyebrow. "If snacks aren't enough, how about some nice clothes?"

Li Chunlan shook her head repeatedly, "Didn't you buy me some last time? I have enough clothes. Don't waste money."

Zhao Liping, standing nearby, said, "Sister Chunlan, why are you being so polite with him?"

"He might be making money now. If he doesn't spend it on you, why would he spend it on other women?"

"No woman ever thinks she has too many clothes, especially someone with such a great figure like you, you should wear fashionable clothes."

Li Chunlan blushed slightly and glanced at Zhao Liping. "Your figure is much better than mine. I saw it when you changed clothes today."

"Youth is truly an advantage; her skin is so fair and smooth, and that area isn't small either..."

Chen Huan coughed twice. "Tell me, is what you two are saying something I can listen to?"

"Did you even consider my feelings?"

The two women went back into the house, laughing and joking.

"I left some rice for you in the pot, eat it quickly."

Chen Huan agreed, quickly washed her face, and started eating.

Before going to sleep, he didn't forget to break the golden pills into pieces and throw them into the water where he kept the blackfish.

"By the way, sister-in-law, remember to cook two crayfish for breakfast tomorrow morning," Chen Huan said through the door.

Li Chunlan and Zhao Liping were talking about something, their giggles never ceasing, making Chen Huan's heart itch with desire.

However, having just managed to disperse the stagnant internal energy, he dared not think about that matter again.

After returning to his room, he quickly entered a meditative state, completely focused on his practice.

The next morning, Chen Huan was attracted by a very strong fragrance.

"What smells so good?" Chen Huan got up, pushed open the door, and walked into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Li Chunlan was cooking, wearing an apron.

The strong aroma was coming from the stove.

With Zhao Liping not around, Chen Huan looked at Li Chunlan's thin pajama bottoms and couldn't help but press his body against hers.

"Mmm..." Zhao Chunlan felt a surge of heat and couldn't help but groan.

My hand slipped, and the spatula fell to the ground.

He turned his head, his face flushed, then grabbed a handful of food, "You brat, already causing trouble first thing in the morning?"

"You'll have to be patient these next couple of days, I'm not feeling well."

Chen Huan then realized that Zhao Liping had started her period, and immediately moved back awkwardly.

"What about braised crayfish?"

"This tastes really good," Chen Huan said, trying to distract herself.

Li Chunlan nodded with a blush, "Yes, I was wondering the same thing. These crayfish are usually very fishy, ​​so you have to use a lot of seasonings to bring out their aroma."

"Where did you get all this fresh stuff? I just got some garlic and chili, and it smelled amazing when I stir-fried it in a pan."

Chen Huan was extremely proud. "How could it not smell good when cultivated using our unique secret recipe?"

"You little rascal, you've been acting all mysterious lately. Where did you get all these skills? How come I never noticed before?" Li Chunlan turned her face and looked at Chen Huan with eyes full of affection and admiration.

Chen Huan's mind started wandering again. He grabbed Li Chunlan's hand, wanting to do something.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the courtyard; it was Zhao Liping returning.

The two immediately separated, and Chen Huan went back inside to get dressed.

Breakfast was simple, but that plate of spicy stir-fried crayfish was absolutely delicious.

Even Zhao Liping, who is usually quite reserved, ate with both hands, her mouth greasy with oil.

In the end, he even licked his white fingers several times.

She kept praising it, saying, "It's so delicious! I've never eaten such good crayfish before."

"When are we going to eat next time?"

Chen Huan laughed and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting tired of eating all the time?"

Zhao Liping glanced at him, her expression somewhat strange. "You didn't eat much, you only ate once..."

Chen Huan immediately felt hot, knowing that Zhao Liping hadn't just mentioned eating crayfish.

"Ahem, if you want some, I'll have Chen Huan make it for you later," Li Chunlan replied casually from the side, unaware of the situation.

Zhao Liping blushed even more. "That depends on whether he's willing or not."

"What's there to be unwilling about? If I make him willing, he has to be willing." Li Chunlan said seriously.

Chen Huan was starting to feel the pressure. "Whatever you say. I have to go to town in a bit. Is there anything you two want to buy? I'll bring it back for you."

Zhao Liping seemed a little hesitant, as if she had something to say but was too embarrassed to say it.

Li Chunlan then suggested, "Why don't you buy her two sets of underwear?"
